The devil is in the details

Heels this year were the largest we have seen yet on the catwalk. Ten inch numbers were all the rage. People laughed when Heidi Klum teetered on 12 inch heels for German Vogue thinking it was an editorial stunt. However, it looks like the glossy trend is becoming a reality. How are mere mortals expected to walk in ten inch heels when the professionals - the catwalk models - can't manage it without wobbly legs or occasional falls?
The pain may just be worth it. Legs look positively giraffe-like in these masterpieces. So here are my top picks for the forthcoming spring season.

A Well Dressed man...

Ok so I thought it was about time to give the male species a bit of attention here as fashion certainly isn't for females alone. 

The first day in Milan was centrally focused around men's fashions and if you thought there were some crazy sights on the catwalks for New York and London you should have seen some of the catastrophes strutting their stuff on the catwalks in Italy. 

That's not to say I wasn't enjoying the view because what girl in her right mind doesn't enjoy the sight of a man with the body of a Greek god strutting his stuff with no shirt in sight?  But those aren't fashions that are applicable to the every day male. 

Above, I have chosen looks I believe are easily translatable for city life. Looks that will make you stand out for being chic and fashionable, not because you look like a space oddity.  I will admit that they are classic in nature with slight modern twists put in place by the designer, but why mess with something that works?  Any man stepping out in the outfits above is sure to be noticed...and dare I say, desired.

The London celebrity brand brigade at Burberry

Burberry showing in London for the 25th anniversary of London Fashion Week has been the talk of the town for months now. Abandoning Milan to walk in London is a significant change and a very big step up in the right direction for LFW.
 
Christopher Bailey did not disappoint his fans, and what a fanclub he has.  Sitting in the front row was like attending a hollywood premiere. Look left - Gwyneth Paltrow, Emma Watson and half of the Olsen Twins. Look right - Daisy Lowe, Victoria Beckham, Liv Tyler and Freida Pinto making sweet faces at her man Dev Patel.
 
But if you could take peel your eyes from the glittering A-listers you were presented with a line of clothing that is, no doubt, going to walk straight into most of their closets to be worn at upcoming events.
 
As you remember, I reported on Emma Watson being the new "English Rose" for Burberry's campaigns in the fall. I think there were one or two dresses shown that she will have her moment in. I can't recall seeing Gwynnie in anything Burberry, other than a trench, before, but perhaps she is looking to prove she too is "down" with today's youth and will showcase one of the shorter numbers in the future.  

As far as the design goes I was sold on the grecian derived folds in the cloth for the first half a dozen pieces but after that I just wanted to see something else. It was just too much. I was happy when breaks, found in the pastels numbers, were presented.  
 
It was like a breath of fresh air in the heavy fabrics. Like spring emerging from the depths of winter. The twist on footwear - where we see nude socks paired with sandals - is an interesting idea. I believe back in grade school we used to call this the "Jesus" or "Hippie" look and I didn't ever think I would see it on a catwalk but Bailey presents it deliciously.  
 
But the models were obviously in need of some coverage. These were definitely the thinnest models of the week.

It was quite a show, all in all, and will probably be the highlight for most of this season's events.
